The Triple Six Lottery Scandal Ticket | Pittsburgh News
Description
In April 1980, a Pennsylvania Lottery drawing of triple six sparked a scandal when host Nick Perry was caught rigging the game by weighting the balls—guaranteeing a win for specific tickets. Convicted and sentenced to two years, he paid a hefty fine and restitution, shaking the lottery system nationwide. Nearly 50 years later, a rare original triple six ticket surfaced at an estate sale, discovered by John Zenewicz, who believes it was confiscated as evidence. Now up for auction on eBay, this ticket offers a tangible piece of a historic fraud that captivated the nation.
